Brian,
I see you have what appears to be a Hoover 1000 series Convertible. But the floral print bag makes me think the hood may have been swapped out at one point.

Bag is not original to that model. The mod style yellow bag goes to the 1076.
Convertibles did come in gray but I think this predates the Convertible. It might be a Model 33 that was originally lavender and has faded to a gray color.
I cannot find any gray Hoovers of this era either, not even from collectors. I do not think gray was a popular color at the time.

Actually..
That bag is original contrary to what many are telling you.
That’s a “C” line cleaner, and a low end model at that.
There were two models outside of the 1076 that used that bag. One with the grey color scheme, and the other with a yellow color scheme, no headlight. Same hood shape as the 593.
This was the mid-late 70s when Hoover really started to offer short run promo models and became all fragmented to hell. So many different patterns of plaid, some box tops, the list goes on.
I’m sure another Hoover expert can chime in, but the model you have is 100% legitimate.

It is! I have one too.
Sometimes, they would combine odd things,,at the end of a run into the beginning of another, to not waste product, if you will.

Interesting...
Thanks everyone. I figured it was all original the way the bumper, handle grip and hood are all exactly the same color and shade of gray. I have just never seen one before. It looks earlier than mid-70s to me though. I guess it’s a common model and I’ve ironically never spotted one?

I agree Kyle:
For any Hoover question, there's the one and only John Gregory.

And, final note,
Will, you are absolutely correct about all of that information.
Proof is everywhere. Although many are quite knowledgeable about Hoover, The Hoover Historical Center, filled with the genuine documents, is accessible to Tom A. who provided me w/ all of this, too. His locked metal files match the center's.
When I got my machine, Tom filled me in on the history of it , too.
An odd, but cute addition to any Hoover collector's collection. I'm very lucky to have the entire, complete Ceylon yellow line.
Thanks, Will.

yep. Well............
rare as in it's an oddball, model transitioning model. I thought it was odd,strange, when I first saw it. You see the photo of my 1076 in this post. So, naturally, when I first saw the 'odd' model, I, too, THOUGHT it was incorrect.
But, then I saw one at Tom A's, and I bought one too. Then, I realized how it came to be.
A nice cleaner, but, it wouldn't be the first one I'd run in to save in a fire.

Kyle,
Thank you for helping him out on the correct model number!

Thanks!!
I appreciate all of your help. One last inquiry though, am I correct that this machine would be no more desirable than a 1076 or another convertible from the same time frame? Or maybe even LESS rare or desirable because of the drab gray color?
